'Downbeat' is the fourth release from instrumental Perth prog band Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, who possibly have the coolest name in the history of West Australian music acts. It follows on from 2013's EP 'Failed by Man and Machine', which displayed a more focused, tame musical approach than their wild 2011 LP 'Deaden the Fields' and 2008's equally mad 'Tiny Fragments' EP. It will be interesting to see what direction this eclectic, evolving outfit will take on 'Downbeat', but with a track list consisting of two 18+ minute songs (making this EP as long as a lot of full-length albums), it's likely that we'll see quite a mixture of sounds, ranging from quiet, serene moments to hyperactive, can't-sit-still moments.
